Even when the Hinox is charging, it does not move too quickly, so Link will have some time to react. While the Hinox will toss bombs out randomly, if Link strikes the Hinox with the [[Master Sword]], the Hinox will immediately turn in his direction and toss a bomb. | ||
These massive enemies are quite durable and will take a number of strikes to defeat. Link will need five direct swipes from the Master Sword to defeat them. Link can use its own power against them, defeating them with a single bomb strike. One might think arrows would work against these one-eyed creatures, but Hinox will need five direct strikes from the [[Bow]] and [[Arrow]] before he goes down. | These massive enemies are quite durable and will take a number of strikes to defeat.

Hinox makes an appearance in ''Link's Awakening'' as the mini-boss of the second dungeon, [[Bottle Grotto]]. This version of Hinox is almost the same as the ''A Link to the Past'' version as far as attack style and visual appearance, although he may seem a little larger in ''Link's Awakening''. Later, a red and blue Hinox appear as the mini-boss of [[Eagle's Tower]] and [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]]. However, the behavior and strength of these two Hinoxes are the same as the first Hinox in Bottle Grotto. | Hinox makes an appearance in ''Link's Awakening'' as the mini-boss of the second dungeon, [[Bottle Grotto]].

It walks around the room slowly, and it occasionally charges and dashes toward Link. If Link gets close enough to the Hinox, it will grab him and toss Link to the side. Every time he damages the Hinox, it retaliates by throwing a bomb. Link can defeat it by using his sword to hit the Hinox. Also, Link can use bombs and the Bow to attack the Hinox. However, if Link has obtained the [[Boomerang]] or the [[Magic Rod]], he can easily defeat the mini-boss with it. | ||

They throw [[Boulder]]s and shake [[Force Gem]]s out of Link. There are a total of 23 Hinoxes, 20 of which can be defeated by entering a nearby cave obtaining the [[Quake Medallion]] and throwing it on them. The Hinox later appears in the [[Palace of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Palace of Winds]]. | ||

The Hinoxes in ''Breath of the Wild'' are | The Hinoxes in ''Breath of the Wild'' are mini-bosses that are sprinkled around the world of Hyrule; there are forty in total. There are multiple variants of the Hinoxes such as the standard red-skinned, blue-skinned, and black-skinned. They use their large size and fists to hurt Link. If Link gets close enough, they will try to punish him by stomping the ground below them. Oftentimes they use their environment to their advantage, which can include them uprooting nearby trees and attempting to flatten Link with them. However, they are fairly slow enemies and their moves can be telegraphed quite easily. | ||
